Re: breaking in rebuilt turbo d series
Put a solid tank of gas through it as a break-in period (about 300 miles in town, not freeway) Be easy on the boost and rpms, but dont be affraid to full throttle it.
Make sure you get tuned. And while your doing the rebuild, put in at least a set of pistons/ rods. For not much more than a few hundred bucks, you can ensure reliability of your engine; its at least worth your labor not to have to do the job more than once...
Good luck!
